AN: So this is my first all Motive story. It is going to be an AU and cover many dark and heavy topics throughout the time. Hopefully you will all still enjoy this and review. I will be starting this story out as a rated T but when I get to about chapter 5 I will be upgrading the rating to M so be on the look out for that change. The characters may be a little OOC but I am trying my hardest to not make it too badly OOC. (The Flega [Flynn and Vega ship name in my mind] aspect of the story comes from the amount of chemistry and sexual tension I see/feel between the two so keep that in mind.) Without further ado here is the first chapter of Darkness Fade Away: A Flega Love Story!

Chapter 1: The Assignment

~July 20, 2013~

(Outside the Flynn House)

Detective Angelica (Angie) Flynn and her son Manny had just arrived home after a week away for Manny's college orientation in Seattle, Washington. As she exited her car Angie's phone rang leaving many to unload the car by himself.

"This is Angie." Angie picked up her cell phone.

"Detective Flynn, this is Superintendent Boyd Bloom. I have an assignment that I only trust you to do. It involves going completely undercover for about three weeks if not longer. If you agree to do this assignment I will contact Mark Cross immediately about you working through only my team for the duration of this assignment." came a deep voice from the other end of the line.

"Would I be able to hear more about this assignment before I give you a definite answer?" Angie asked.

"Of course I will give you more information on the case. Are you able to come to my office at about lunch time tomorrow and we can talk then?" Bloom asked.

"Unless a new case comes in that Oscar, Brian, and I need to check out a crime scene for I will be able to stop by." Angie replied after a few seconds of hesitation.

"I will let you go for now as I am sure you have something you need to do and I will see you tomorrow. Have a good rest of the evening." Bloom replied.

"You too Sir, good night." Angie said as she hung up her cell phone and went inside.

(Inside the Flynn House)

"Mom, there is a message from Oscar on the machine. He wants to talk when you get a free minute." Manny said once Angie got settled in.

Angie grabbed the phone and dialed, Detective Oscar Vega, her partner's phone number. "Hello Partner, my offspring informed me you called. What can I help you with?"

"Hey Partner. I was just wondering if you wanted to join Lucas and I for lunch tomorrow? Tomorrow marks exactly one year since Lucas joined our team." Vega said of their third partner, Detective Brian Lucas.

"As much as I love Lucas, I can't do lunch tomorrow. I just got off a call on my cell phone with Bloom. I have to meet up with him at lunch tomorrow. I am not 100% sure why but how about we call Mary and set up a surprise celebration dinner with just the four of us?" Angie suggested.

"That sounds like a great plan partner. You set everything up and tell me where when we get in tomorrow morning. I will call Mary and tell her about the plans. We can split the check. See you in the morning Partner." Oscar replied.

(Vancouver Police Station)

"Morning Partner. Lucas is a little behind this morning so what is the plan for dinner?" Oscar asked as he leaned back on the blonde's desk.

"As long as everything goes to plan we have reservations at Toby's Pub at 5:30pm." Angie replied.

"It is scary how well we know each other partner. When Mary asked where she should plan to meet us I told her you were picking the place so to plan on Toby's. I guess five and a half years as partners means we know a bit about how the other's brain works." Oscar smiled.

Secretly Angie loves her partner's smile and his laugh. As a matter of fact she could not think about much about her partner that she could dislike other than the fact that Oscar does not support the idea of co-workers having any kind of romantic relationship. Little did Angie know Oscar only says that because he feels the same way about her and has since about six months into their partnership. The only people who could not see this was the two of them.

~Lunch Time~

(Bloom's Office)

"Morning Bloom, ready to talk about this mysterious case you only trust me to do?" Angie asked as she entered her boss' office.

"Have a seat Detective Flynn." Bloom started as he closed his office door. "This case is one where I need a female officer to go undercover and I want you to do it since I trust you. The case involves taking out a drug ring that is responsible for the murders that you guys started to investigate three days ago."

"Would I be able to have Vega and Lucas on my team for backup? I am willing to do this but I would prefer to have my partners on my team if possible. I could not imagine doing this without them." Angie asked.

"Vega and Lucas unfortunately would not be able to be a part of the team since they were originally on the case. Due to you having been out-of-town during the first investigation I would still ask you to be on this team." Bloom explained.

"I don't like the idea of taking an assignment outside of my department especially without my partners." Angie replied.

"If you don't do this assignment someone else is going to get hurt. Detective Flynn only Mark can know the truth about this case for now. Detectives Vega and Lucas will be informed when the time is right." Bloom stated.

"Fine I will do the assignment but I will not start until tomorrow though since I need time to check out my cover story and the case details. You get to tell Mark though, he is on my 'do not talk to me unless it is important' list." Angie said as she began to walk toward the door.

"Deal come back up here tomorrow just before you leave and I will test you on your cover." Bloom suggested.

"Fine, I will see you tomorrow." Angie said closing the door behind her.

~Quitting Time/Dinner~

(Toby's Pub)

"Guys I really should get home. Mary wanted to cook dinner tonight. Due to some of the cases we have had lately the number of broken promises when it comes to being home for dinner has skyrocketed." Brian Lucas informed his partners as they got to their table.

"Turn around Partner." Oscar smirked at the young detective.

"Mary? I thought we were going to eat at home tonight? What are you doing here?" the youngest detective asked his wife.

"We called her to see if she would come celebrate with us." Angie replied. "Happy one year Partner-versary! It has been a great year Detective Lucas. We look forward to many more years as partners."
